Word to PPT

[Bob]

Someone in our group used Word to create a page with text and graphics, and
now wants that page to be a PowerPoint slide. The page contins text on the
page itself, text in textboxes, and drawing objects (shapes, lines, etc.).
If I do File > Send to > MS Office PowerPoint, I get one slide for each
letter of text, and no graphics. I have tried saving the doc as a web page
and importing/inserting in PPT; copy all then paste, open the doc from
within PPT, and about every other variation I can think of.

Can this be done? If so, what am I missing?

Thanks,
Bob

If you want the page to appear on the slide exactly as it is in the word doc,
one option would be to set the word document size so that you can see all of
the page that you want, then take a screen shot (shift+print screen), and
paste (ctrl+v) into a blank Paint file. The Paint file can then be saved and
inserted into the powerpoint as one image. That may not be the best way, but
it should keep the formatting the same.
Hope this helps,

Bob, try to insert the word in PowerPoint instead of sending it to PowerPoint.
Launch PowerPoint, from the insert menu, select Object, choose create from
file, browse,them double click the file you want to insert, press OK. You
should see the document on your slide. By the way, if you are not satisfied
with the result, you can double click any of the content to edit it.

I think you'll need to either use Iguana's suggestion or copy/paste from
Word to PPT.

When you use Send to PPT, PPT picks up the styles from Word. Anything using
Heading 1 = title text, Heading 2 = primary bullet, Heading 3 = secondary
bullet, etc. Test formatted with Normal style doesn't send, nor do tables
and diagrams or photos and drawing objects. Sorry.
